I haven't been able to get rid of this pain. It waxes and wanes and mine comes from my neck problems. When the muscles tighten and go into spasms, the pain is worse. I've gotten some respite from it through nerve blocks done with locals and steroids, but the relief isn't permanent. My pain management doctor has talked about radio frequency ablation, but I'm not too keen on it for this as I fear when the nerve regenerates, the pain will be worse. If your doctor has recommended a stim, you've got nothing to lose by trying it. Have you searched the forum for others experiences? There is a lot of good information on the board, but you've got to read through it all.
